Hi,
As Jatropha is under promotion as crop free from insect pest. The
researchers are saying that it is not true claim. Jatropha crop in
Indian state Chhattisgarh is facing severe problem due to pest mainly
Pempelia morosalis and Scutellera nobilis. Please see this table

You can find the pictures very soon at Ecoport.

For the first time many years back Dr.Chitra Shankar, well known
Entomologist reported many such insects in Jhansi.

Authorities are using pesticides in bulk to manage these pest with
little success. These costly input and ignored fact are increasing
cost of cultivation. In monoculture infestation is severe. It seems
that infestation will increase month by month. Then more and more
pesticides will be required and now you can see how large scale
Jatropha will become curse for our environment and biodiversity. :-(
